Branch and The Girl had to represent a continent for one of their many projects, so they made posters.  They stay busy, although some days it's tough to catch our breath with so many activities.

 

Stennes is working; Mean Ol' Mama is working; Poppins is working; everybody is working, working, working.  The saga continues....

Lately

Branch led the kids in searching out "treasure" in supplies from a friend.

Mean Ol' Mama's grandpuppies...

We had a glorious day at the beach last Saturday.

 

See the little bird watching us at the top of the cabana?

The Girl (in the jacket, of course) and Branch joined a volleyball game.  First course of action?  Chase off the dog.

Run, doggie...

Go away, dog!

Okay, we give up!

 

Anders and ChubChub spent quite a long time fishing together.

 

Treasures from the beach

Do you see Ruby asleep on top of the picnic table?  She refused to be left at home.

Oh, there she is!

We're busy with schoolwork and daily doings; Branch is now in Boy Scouts; soccer starts this coming Saturday; boys are busy with potatoes at the U-Pick; The Girl has plans for a baking business; College work is steady; the cows are doing well; we're planting small gardens here and there; one-foot-in-front-of-the-other...
